    I have made this recipe many times, and it's just as good with chicken as it is with tuna. Also, substituting raisins for the cranberries and adding celery is pretty awesome too! Very flexible recipe, as you can see, and very fresh and light. Jum jum!! - 1/14/08

    This was SO GOOD! It's got everything I was looking for: Protein, low fat, creamy, sweet, savory. It's awesome. Usually I'm hungry about two hours after lunch, but not with this! I ate it with two Wasa crackers and that's all I needed.

    Thanks for submitting this DAQUIRI_CHERI!! - 4/8/08

    We love this. I double the recipe and get 4 servings out of it. I'm surprised that the apple doesn't turn brown without using lemon. I've discarded my old tuna salad recipe since discovering this one. Yummmmm - 1/14/12

    I was reluctant to try this with tuna, have had something similar with chicken. I am glad I got out of my comfort zone and tried something new. This makes ALOT of lunch! I used dried cherries in place of the cranberries and added celery. Thank you for sharing! Very tasty!! - 7/14/11

    It was good, but I feel like it needed a little more flavor. Maybe if I make this again I'll add some sweet pickle relish to add a little bit more of a kick. I grew up eating tuna salad with mayo, & cucumbers (or sweet relish) so this may be a little bit different than what I expected. - 7/30/09
